We have a potential volcano problem on our hands, in this case involving Canada's volcanoes. It does not involve Mount Meager or simply just Mount Garibaldi, but rather, all of the nations volcanoes. Despite producing 6 volcanic eruptions in the last 500 years, absolutely none of Canada's volcanoes meet proper monitoring standards. I made this video to explain the current situation, along with a proposal (based off of source [1] in this video's "sources/citations" section) of what is needed to properly monitor the nations volcanoes.
